INTRODUCTION
0.0 The Government of India felt the need for a permanent agency to expedite
the publication of standards and development of test facilities in parallel when
the work on the preparation of the standards is going on, as the development
of improved safety critical parts can be undertaken only after the publication
of the standard and commissioning of test facilities. To this end, the erstwhile
Ministry of Surface Transport (MOST) has constituted a permanent
Automotive Industry Standards Committee (AISC) vide order No.
RT-11028/11/97-MVL dated September 15, 1997. The standards prepared by
AISC will be approved by the permanent CMVR Technical Standing
Committee (CTSC). After approval, the Automotive Research Association of
India, (ARAI), Pune, being the Secretariat of the AIS Committee, has
published this standard. For better dissemination of this information ARAI
may publish this document on their web site.
This part covers the requirements for approval of devices for indirect vision for
use on M, N, category and L category vehicles with bodywork vehicles-
specification.
0.4 While preparing this standard attempts have been made to align with the above
ECE regulation. However, certain changes were necessary in the Indian
context.
0.5 The following standards contain provisions, which through reference in this
text constitute provisions of the standard.

specified by the standard for installation of requirements of that
category of vehicles.
2. DEFINITIONS
2.1. "Devices for indirect vision" means devices to observe the traffic area
adjacent to the vehicle, which cannot be observed by direct vision.
These may be conventional mirrors, camera-monitors or other devices
able to present information about the indirect field of vision to the
driver.
2.1.1.3. "Surveillance mirror" means a mirror other than the ones defined
in 2.1.1. which is intended to be fitted to the inside or outside of the
vehicle in order to provide fields of vision other than those specified in
15.2.4 of AIS-002(Part 1)(Rev. 1).
2.1.1.4. "Vision support system" means a system to enable the driver to detect
and/or see objects in the area adjacent to the vehicle."
2.1.1.5. "r" means the average of the radii of curvature measured over the
reflecting surface, in accordance with the method described in
Annex G.
2.1.1.6. "The principal radii of curvature at one point on the reflecting
surface (ri)" means the values obtained with the apparatus defined in
Annex G measured on the arc of the reflecting surface passing through
the centre of this surface parallel to the segment b, as defined in
6.1.2.1.2.1 and on the arc perpendicular to this segment.
1/35
AIS-001 (Part 1) (Rev.1) : 2011
2.1.1.7. The radius of curvature at one point on the reflecting surface (rp)"
means the arithmetical average of the principal radii of curvature ri and
ri i.e.:

AIS-001 (Part 1) (Rev.1) : 2011
6.1.1.3. When the mirror is mounted on a plane surface, all parts, irrespective
of the adjustment position of the device, including those parts

diameter in the case of an exterior mirror, shall have a radius of
curvature 'c' of not less than 2.5 mm.
6.1.1.5. The device for the attachment of mirrors to the vehicle shall be so
designed that a cylinder with a 70 mm radius, (50 mm in the case of
an L-category vehicle), having at its axis, or one of the axes, of pivot
or rotation which ensures deflection of the mirror in the direction of
impact concerned, passes through at least part of the surface to which
the device is attached.
6.1.1.6. The parts of exterior mirrors referred to in 6.1.1.2. and 6.1.1.3. which

AIS-001 (Part 1) (Rev.1) : 2011
6.1.3. Test
6.1.3.1. Mirrors in Classes I to VI and Class VII (having fitments identical to
Class III) shall be subjected to the tests described in 6.1.3.2.1 and
6.1.3.2.2. Class VII mirrors with a stem, shall be subjected to the tests
described in 6.1.3.2.3.
6.1.3.1.1. The test provided for in 6.1.3.2. shall not be required in the case of
any exterior mirror of which no part is less than 2 m from the ground,
regardless of the adjustment position, when the vehicle is under a load
corresponding to its maximum technically permissible mass.
This derogation also applies to the attachments of mirrors (attachment
plates, arms, swivel joints, etc.) which are situated less than 2 m from
the ground and which do not project beyond the overall width of the
vehicle, measured in the transverse plane passing through the lowest
mirror attachments or any other point forward of this plane if this
configuration produces a greater overall width.
In such cases, a description specifying that the mirror shall be
mounted so as to conform to the above-mentioned conditions for the
positioning of its attachments on the vehicle must be provided.
Where advantage is taken of this derogation, the arm shall be
indelibly marked with the symbol
2m
Figure 1 below gives the dimensions (in mm) of the test rig and the
special design specifications:
Figure 1
(See 6.1.3.2.1.1.)
6.1.3.2.1.2. The centre of percussion of the pendulum coincides with the centre
of the sphere, which forms the hammer. It is at a distance l from the
axis of oscillation in the release plane, which is equal
to 1 m 5 mm. The reduced mass of the pendulum is
mo = 6.8 0.05 kilograms. The relationship of mo to the total mass
m of the pendulum and to the distance d between the centre of
gravity of the pendulum and its axis of rotation is expressed in the
equation:
d
mo = m
l
6.1.3.2.2 Description of the test
6.1.3.2.2.1 The procedure used to clamp the mirror to the support shall be that
recommended by the manufacturer of the device or, where
appropriate, by the vehicle manufacturer.
6.1.3.2.2.2 Positioning of the mirror for the test:
6.1.3.2.2.2.1 Mirrors shall be positioned on the pendulum impact rig in such
a way that the axes which are horizontal and vertical when the
mirror is installed on a vehicle in accordance with the applicant's
mounting instructions are in a similar position;
10/35
AIS-001 (Part 1) (Rev.1) : 2011
6.1.3.2.2.2.2 When a mirror is adjustable with respect to the base, the test
position shall be that in which any pivoting device is least likely to
operate, within the limits of adjustment provided by the applicant;
6.1.3.2.2.2.3 When the mirror has a device for adjusting its distance from the
base, the device shall be set in the position in which the distance
between the housing and the base is shortest
6.1.3.2.2.3 Except in the case of test 2 for interior mirrors (see 6.1.3.2.2.6.1.),
when the pendulum is in a vertical position the horizontal and
longitudinal vertical planes passing through the centre of the
hammer shall pass through the centre of the reflecting surface as
defined in 2.1.1.11. The longitudinal direction of oscillation of the
pendulum shall be parallel to the longitudinal median plane of the
vehicle.
6.1.3.2.2.5. The test consists in allowing the hammer to fall from a height
corresponding to a pendulum angle of 60 from the vertical so that
the hammer strikes the mirror at the moment when the pendulum
reaches the vertical position.
6.1.3.2.2.6. The mirrors are subjected to impact under the following different
conditions:
11/35
AIS-001 (Part 1) (Rev.1) : 2011
6.2.1.1 If adjustment by the user is needed, the device for indirect vision
shall be adjustable without the use of tools.
6.2.1.2 If a device for indirect vision is able to only render the total
prescribed field of vision by scanning the field of vision, the total
process of scanning, rendering and reset to its initial position
together shall not take more than 2 seconds.
6.2.2.1.3 For parts of the camera and the monitor which are made of
a material with a Shore A hardness of less than 60 and which are
mounted on a rigid support, the requirements of 6.2.2.1.1. shall
only apply to the support.
6.2.2.2.1 The camera should function well under low sunlight conditions.
The camera shall provide a luminance contrast of at least 1:3
under low sun condition in a region outside the part of the image
where the light source is reproduced (condition as defined in

with 40,000 lx. The angle between the normal of the sensor plane
and the line connecting the midpoint of the sensor and the
light source shall be 10.
6.2.2.2.2 The monitor shall render a minimum contrast under various light
conditions as specified by ISO 15008:2003.
6.2.2.2.4 The measurements for the luminance contrast shall be carried out
according to ISO 15008:2003.
13/35
AIS-001 (Part 1) (Rev.1) : 2011
